Internal Phone System for X-Fab Sarawak Sdn Bhd
The Customer
X-FAB is the world’s largest analog/mixed-signal foundry group. It manufactures silicon wafers for mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs). Its marketing network and client base span the Americas, Europe and Asia, offering manufacturing capacity of approximately 1.1 million 200mm-equivalent wafers per year.
Business Requirement
IP PBX system to cater to large number of staff and management with scalable capacity to meet specific needs as and when they arise.
Business Challenges
X-Fab Sarawak currently has a conventional Philips PABX with large numbers of analog phones. As it expands, it needs a new, IP-based PBX system. The old and new systems have to be integrated and be able to communicate with one another.
In order to cut costs, X-Fab Sarawak would reuse some of the analog phones in the new system. These analog phones will be migrated in batches to the new IP PBX.
Our Partner
Toshi partners with Precious Credence Sdn Bhd to provide the solution to X-Fab Sarawak.
Precious Credence Sdn Bhd is an M&E (Mechanical & Electrical) contracting company based in Kuching, Sarawak. It was established in 2010.
Solution for X-Fab Sarawak
We work closely with Precious Credence Sdn Bhd to meet the requirements of X-Fab Sarawak.
The solution is to install IP-based FreePBX on Virtual Machines. Integration of FreePBX and the legacy Philips PABX is achieved through a pair of Vega 200G PRI Gateways. The Gateways are also used to connect to the service provider.
A combination of Sangoma S206 IP Phones and analog phones are used. The analog phones are initially connected to the Philips PABX, but will eventually be migrated to the FreePBX. Since these analog phones do not have IP connection, Vega 3050G Gateways are used to convert conventional analog media to IP packets. A total of 6 Vega 3050G Gateways are used, with one to spare.
Result
The systems work as intended, and the customer is able to grow its needs when they arise in the future.
